DHL adds to African reach
DHL has expanded its road freight services to the North African region. Following the launch of the DHL Euroconnect product to and from Morocco in April of this year DHL Freight now offers groupage services to and from Tunisia.
“DHL Freight is continuously strengthening and expanding its less-than-truckload network across Europe and beyond,” said Thomas George, CEO DHL Freight. “Both Morocco and Tunisia maintain strong economic ties with the European Union, in particular the Southern European countries. This is fueling demand to include these countries in our Euroconnect network, extending our existing part-truck-load and full-truck-load services to scheduled regular groupage shipments.
“With the regular line haul departures for both Morocco and Tunisia, Deutsche Post DHL can now offer additional groupage services to anywhere within its road network of more than 50 countries across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. While Barcelona is the European gateway for Morocco, Lyon connects Europe with Tunisia.”
The services to Tunisia and Morocco give customers access to the existing country-wide distribution networks that are already operational today, the company said.
The new connection to Tunisia allows DHL Freight to reach all major business centres within one day. Five branch offices across the country act as domestic hubs and customer access points.
